Household Support Fund

This scheme aims to support households in the most need, particularly families with children and pensioners who would otherwise struggle with energy bills and food.

Following the recent Budget announcement that the Household Support Fund will be extended, we are awaiting further guidance from the Department for Work and Pensions. Further information will be published on this webpage after 1 April 2024. We cannot accept applications at present.
